“A touch of tradition, a world of emotion.” With a desire to remain connected to tradition, my collection reinterprets elements of Albanian folk costumes for both men and women. The central feature of the collection is the black wool stripe from the traditional tirqe, used as a decorative detail and paired with the vibrant colors of men’s belts. The pieces are further enriched with hand-crafted embellishments such as embroidery and crochet — techniques characteristic of traditional women’s attire across different regions of Albania. In this way, the collection completes a mosaic of garments that are both traditional and modern, preserving heritage while embracing contemporary design.
